Errata:

• Data for Q.3 (MINIMUM INCOME) are not available.
• Q29M (WEEKLY WORKING HOURS) data for FINLAND are dubious. In addition to single wild codes for all countries, the Finnish cases coded 300 to 450 are clearly out of range (part of the cases to be coded 30 to 45 might have erroneously been coded using the first two of the three digits provided for data entry). Consequently also Q29R should only be used with caution for Finland. [26.04.05]   
• Please notice erroneous coding for basic British regions in P7_GB and accordingly in all derived variables (M7_GB, P7R_UK). At least GREATER LONDON (16) and KENT (18) seem to be exchanged. Data have been corrected in the ZA version of this data set as of December 19, 2005. This variable should only be used with caution.  
• D.29 for ITALY: the income categories 1 to 5 are erroneous. The correct income categories in accordance with the Italian field questionnaire are: (1) up to 750.000 L; (2) 750.001-1.000.000 L; (3) 1.000.001-1.500.000 L; (4) 1.500.001-1.750.000 L; (5) 1.750.001-2.000.000 L.  The value labels have been corrected in the ZA version of this data set as of December 19, 2005.
